Tim replying. Startup messages should be emitted using specific kernel-log facilities. The absence of such messages from your `dmesg` output suggests one of a couple possible situations: - the drivers are emitting the text via a facility that doesn't log things in the kernel's logs. Maybe using the standard printf() functions instead of the kernel-log-specific printk() function - the "ok, done" messages could be the doubletalk emitting responses to changes in settings sent by the driver. That is, the driver does something like send a "hey, set the volume to 80%" and the doubletalk replies speaking "ok, done" without the messages ever appearing in the kernel or driver software There might be other situations, but those are the first ones that occur to me. I'm not sure how I'd diagnose them though. Perhaps the doubletalk driver has the ability to increase logging levels and send them to a specified file? -tim On June 14, 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Mark peveto here, > Hey Tim, > Is there another set of boot up messages I could be missing?
